THE ADMINISTRATION: Back to Work

President Eisenhower felt embarrassed and angry when the Agriculture
Department rejected Wolf Ladejinsky as Tokyo attache (TIME, Jan. 3 et. seq.).
Last week with White House approval, Ladejinsky got security clearance and
another job (at his previous salary: $11,800) with Harold Stassen's Foreign
Operations Administration in South Viet Nam. Ladejinsky, who planned
the U.S.-sponsored land reforms in Japan that gave 3,000,000 peasant
families their own farms, will blueprint similar reforms to win South
Viet Nam's peasants away from Communism before next year's elections.
